Love Worth Fighting For

Johan immediately froze, the news that Charlotte had just delivered immediately made his brain stop functioning for a few seconds.

“This time I’m really confirmed to be pregnant, Johan. Apart from the five test kits that I’ve tried separately, I’ve also confirmed my pregnancy directly to the obstetrician and the results confirmed that I’m really pregnant. My pregnancy is only two weeks old,” Charlotte said without stopping, Charlotte should be sad because she is pregnant with a boy she doesn’t love. But because she had big plans with her pregnancy, Charlotte was so happy to welcome the presence of an innocent creature that was currently growing in her womb.

“Meet me at the usual place, we can discuss this together more clearly.” Johan spoke hoarsely.

“I’m not in the mood to meet you.”

“What?”

“Don’t blame me, blame the child in my stomach. It seems he knows that his real father is trying to give him to another man to be a father…”

“Cherry!!!”

“Isn’t that what you want?” Charlotte interrupted Johan’s words quickly. “But let’s not talk about it anymore because I’m not in the mood to talk about it anymore.”

.....

Johan’s face flushed, his chest felt so hot because it was filled with a foreign feeling that couldn’t be described. Knowing that his baby was growing in Charlotte’s womb made Johan unable to use his brain, he even forgot about his original plan to include a sabotage program in the security system of Muller Finance International.

“Never mind, I hung up, that’s all I wanted to talk to you about,” Charlotte said again before she finally hung up on Johan.

Johan, who was not ready to accept Charlotte’s treatment, looked panicked. Several times the man seemed to swear loudly because Charlotte’s cell phone suddenly couldn’t be contacted. Even though a few minutes ago they connected.

“Fuck, that little bitch is really looking for trouble with me,” said Johan full of emotion. “How dare she turn off her phone.”

“Who turned off her cell phone?” asked Asher who had just arrived.

Johan immediately turned his face towards Asher who was standing at the door of his room. “Eh?”

“Who are you talking to? Why are you this angry, are you having a fight with your fiancé?”

“We broke up two months ago,” said Johan quickly.

“Huh? Aren’t you two getting married this year, so why break up?” Asher screamed loudly again in disbelief.

Johan leaned against the back of the chair. “Because we are not compatible, we have different visions and missions in this relationship, so there is no reason for us to continue this relationship.”

Asher shook his head. “You are too picky Johan.”

Johan pursed his lips. “Don’t we really have to choose? We have to know what kind of woman will be our partner, so it’s only natural for us to choose a partner. What about you, you’ve been single for a very long time. Don’t tell me you don’t like women, okay?! ”

Asher chuckled. “Of course I like women, I’m just not in the mood to make any commitments to women. My focus right now is to make my uncle and aunt proud, which is why I’ve decided not to make any commitments for the time being.”

“You can make Mr and Mrs Clarke proud, Asher.” Johan answered Asher’s words quickly, even though he was not feeling very well, Johan tried to stay calm in front of Asher. He didn’t want to make Asher suspicious of him.

“Thank you Johan, thank you for the loyalty and help you have given me so far,” said Asher honestly.

“That’s what friends are for,” said Johan, smiling broadly.

***

In her car Charlotte smiled broadly looking at the paper that the obstetrician had given her an hour ago.

“Because at this time your womb is still so young, we cannot do an ultrasound examination to see the situation. We can only do an ultrasound examination when your gestational age has started to enter the age of four or five weeks because at that time the fetal sac begins to be detected.”

Charlotte smiled widely remembering the words of the doctor who examined her womb.

“One more step,” Charlotte said quietly. “One more step I will get Christian, with this child I can snatch Christian from that damn woman.” Charlotte touched her still very flat stomach with a big smile.

Just as Charlotte closed her lips suddenly her cellphone rang, a handsome photo of Christian appeared on her cell phone screen. Charlotte, who didn’t expect Christian to contact her, froze for a few seconds in shock, but luckily Charlotte managed to control her nervousness in no time.

“Hi.” Charlotte greets Christian who has appeared on her cell phone screen.

Christian smiled. “I thought you deleted my number on this one.”

“How could I delete your cellphone number, Christ. Just so you know, I also still have your first cell phone number, which was no longer active,” Charlotte said quickly.

“Are you serious?” asks Christian in surprise.

“Want proof?” challenged Charlotte, moving up an octave.

“Ok, show me then.”

Charlotte pursed her lips. “Wait, I will screen record the list of phone numbers on my cell phone.”

“Ok.”

Charlotte’s one bad trait is her inability to control her emotions, getting a challenge like that from the man she adores makes Charlotte act quickly. After successfully getting what she wanted, Charlotte immediately sent it to Christian who was still waiting patiently.

“Look, I just sent you a photo,” Charlotte said quickly.

Christian also opened the message that Charlotte had just sent. “Wow, how come you didn’t delete it? I haven’t used that cell phone number in a long time, even wait…you also have all my cellphone numbers apparently. You really are something Charlotte.”

“So now you can trust me, right? I am the only person who will not lie to you Christs, I will be the only person who will support all your decisions like before when we were little,” Charlotte said quietly, Charlotte changing her expression quickly. Charlotte wants to show Christian her sincerity.

“You will not betray me and support all my decisions.” Christian repeats Charlotte’s words with a meaningful look, his two blue eyes stare at Charlotte who is appearing on his cell phone screen without blinking.

“You’re not doubting me, are you?” Charlotte responded to Christian’s words again with a serious face. “You haven’t forgotten who I am, have you? I’m Charlotte, your childhood friend Christ.”

Christian pauses, giving Charlotte pause. Getting to know Charlotte made Christian sure that he could carry out all his plans well.

“You really doubt my loyalty to you, Christ? Can’t you see all my sacrifices for you? Even though you already had Luna at that time, I remained faithfully beside you, I even helped you take care of that beautiful child. Yes, even though you don’t consider all my sacrifices, you just went back to that evil woman and ignored me. But what? I’m still loyal to you, right? I’m still by your side Chris,”

“Cher…”

“I love you Christ, I’ve loved you since the first time I knew love. You were my first love, Christ,” Charlotte said hoarsely.

Christian opened his eyes wide. “Y-you’re joking, right?’

Charlotte laughed, the tears she had been holding back finally fell down her cheeks “Even when I have told you all my feelings you still doubt me, I am really a poor woman. My love is truly one-sided.”
